Rhinoplasty

 Nose Reshaping & Refinement

Enhance facial harmony, correct nasal concerns, and improve breathing with tailored rhinoplasty in the UK.

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, nose lift or nose reshaping surgery, is a procedure designed to transform and refine the nose for aesthetic balance, to correct functional concerns such as a deviated septum or breathing difficulties, or both. Whether you’re looking to address a dorsal hump, a bulbous nose tip, or achieve a straighter nose, our approach is tailored to your unique facial structure and goals.

At Emendo Surgical Group, our expert rhinoplasty surgeons specialise in surgical rhinoplasty, offering procedures including closed rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, deviated septum surgery, and more, to ensure natural, long-lasting results.

Aesthetic Benefits of Rhinoplasty

A well-proportioned nose enhances facial harmony, creating a balanced, refined profile that complements your natural features. Our expert-led rhinoplasty surgery is designed to achieve subtle yet transformative results, tailored to your unique facial structure.

  • Refines nasal shape and proportions – Achieve a more symmetrical and elegant contour.

  • Harmonises facial balance – A straight nose can enhance overall aesthetics, especially in profile.

  • Softens dorsal humps or nasal tip irregularities – Corrects concerns such as a bulbous nose, a wide nose, or a crooked nose.

  • Enhances self-confidence – Many patients report feeling more comfortable and assured in their appearance post-surgery.

Functional Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty isn’t just about aesthetics—it can also improve nasal function, helping patients breathe more easily and correct structural issues that may be causing discomfort or medical concerns. Whether due to genetics, trauma, or a deviated nasal septum, a functional rhinoplasty can significantly enhance both airflow and quality of life.

How Rhinoplasty Can Improve Nasal Function

    • Addresses blocked nostrils caused by a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse

    • Reduces chronic congestion, making it easier to breathe through both nostrils

    • Helps patients who experience a constantly clogged nose or difficulty breathing at night

    • Enhances nasal breathing, particularly for those who rely on mouth breathing due to obstruction

    • Can reduce snoring and symptoms related to sleep-disordered breathing

    • May alleviate symptoms of sleep apnoea in some cases by improving nasal airflow

    • Restores normal nasal function after sports injuries, accidents, or previous nasal fractures

    • Corrects broken nose deformities, ensuring both aesthetic and functional recovery

    • Addresses collapsed nose bridges or saddle nose deformities that affect breathing

    • Straightens a deviated nasal septum to restore clear breathing

    • Reduces symptoms like one nostril constantly blocked, nasal congestion, or difficulty inhaling deeply

    • Can be combined with septorhinoplasty to enhance both form and function

For patients experiencing nasal breathing difficulties, our approach ensures precise correction while preserving or enhancing natural aesthetics.

Types of Rhinoplasty: Surgical & Non-Surgical

Rhinoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Whether you’re looking for aesthetic refinement, functional correction, or a revision surgery, we offer a range of surgical and non-surgical options to suit your needs.

    • Involves a small external incision between the nostrils for full access to nasal structures

    • Ideal for significant reshaping, correcting humps, asymmetry, and tip refinement

    • Used for revision rhinoplasty, complex cases, and major functional improvements

    • All incisions are inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars

    • Best for patients needing subtle nasal refinement

    • Addresses asymmetry, breathing issues, or unsatisfactory outcomes from previous surgery

    • Often more complex due to scar tissue or structural changes

    • Can involve cartilage grafting if additional support is needed

    • Straightens the nasal septum, allowing better airflow

    • Ideal for patients with chronic nasal obstruction, snoring, or one nostril constantly blocked

    • Can be combined with rhinoplasty (septorhinoplasty) for aesthetic and functional correction

    • Improves both nasal function and appearance

    • Ideal for patients with breathing difficulties and nasal asymmetry

    • Tailored to restore nasal structure, shape, and airflow

    • Uses dermal fillers to smooth bumps, lift the nasal tip, or improve symmetry

    • Ideal for patients looking for a temporary, non-invasive option

    • No downtime, with results lasting 6-18 months

    Please note: Emendo Surgical Group only uses fillers for contour corrections.

Choosing the right rhinoplasty technique depends on your aesthetic goals, functional needs, and surgical preferences. During your consultation, we’ll assess the best approach for you.

Frequently Asked Questions: Rhinoplasty

  • The cost of rhinoplasty in the UK varies depending on a myriad of factors such as the chosen hospital, technique required, your needs and desires and more.

    A personalised quote will be provided after your consultation.

  • Initial swelling and bruising subside within 2-3 weeks, but full healing can take 12-18 months as the nose settles into its final shape. Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days but should avoid strenuous exercise for at least 3-4 weeks.

  • A rhinoplasty procedure typically lasts between 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity and whether it's an open or closed rhinoplasty. More extensive procedures, like revision rhinoplasty, may take longer.

  • If your goal is to reduce the size of your nose, rhinoplasty can refine the nasal structure by:

    • Narrowing a wide nose

    • Reducing a bulbous nasal tip

    • Smoothing out a dorsal hump

    • Adjusting the nasal bridge for better proportion
      During your consultation, we will assess which refinements will create the most natural and balanced result for your face.

  • A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall of cartilage and bone between your nostrils (nasal septum) is misaligned, making one nasal passage smaller than the other. This can cause breathing difficulties, nasal obstruction, and snoring. In some cases, a septoplasty (or septorhinoplasty) is needed to correct it.

  • Common signs of a deviated nasal septum include:

    • One nostril being consistently blocked

    • Frequent nasal congestion or difficulty breathing

    • Snoring or sleep disturbances

    • A visibly crooked nose (in some cases)

    • Increased risk of sinus infections
      If you experience these symptoms, a septoplasty or septorhinoplasty may help correct the issue.

  • A crooked nose can be corrected with either:

    • Surgical Rhinoplasty – Adjusts the nasal bones and cartilage to straighten the nose.

    • Septorhinoplasty – If the crookedness is caused by a deviated septum, this surgery corrects both function and appearance.

  • In the UK, it is generally advised to be at least 18 years old to undergo cosmetic rhinoplasty. This is to ensure the nose has fully developed before surgery. However, functional rhinoplasty or septoplasty for breathing issues may be considered at an earlier age in medically necessary cases.

  • A septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines rhinoplasty (to reshape the nose for aesthetic purposes) with septoplasty (to correct a deviated septum and improve breathing).

    This procedure is ideal for patients who want to:

    • Enhance nasal shape while also improving airflow

    • Straighten a crooked nose caused by trauma or genetics

    • Fix a deviated septum that leads to breathing difficulties or chronic congestion

    Since it addresses both form and function, septorhinoplasty is often recommended for those experiencing nasal obstruction, snoring, or asymmetry while also wanting cosmetic refinements.
